La Cure

Highlight • River

If you come from the brewery, near which there are also hiking parking lots, you will pass this beautiful embankment on the Cure shortly before the village. From here you have a beautiful view of the opposite bank with the church and the historic stone bridge crossing the river. A very nice photo opportunity.

Saint-Père-sur-la-Cure Bridge

Highlight • Bridge

On the Cure, the very old bridge of St-Père, remodeled several times, has kept its appearance from the end of the 18th century. It is difficult to date the first stone bridge. Like the Asquins bridge, it is very important due to its history and location. A Roman bridge may have existed at St Père, each bank being bordered by a Roman road. In the Middle Ages and after, the Cure separated the Duchy of Burgundy, the County of Nevers and the royal lands and St Père was located on strategic and very busy communication routes. In addition, the town was very close to the rich abbey and basilica of Vézelay and Avallon, therefore on a famous pilgrimage route.

Old Saint-Père church cemetery

Highlight • Monument

The old village church from the 11th century originally stood here. It was destroyed during the Huguenot Wars and later the village cemetery was set up in the former churchyard. Today's cemetery is just a few hundred meters further on the edge of the village on the right of the road.
